MyLeakyBucket Posted May 11, 2002 Share Posted May 11, 2002 I really don't like the Counting Crows, but for fear of judging a band without proper experience of them, I'll give that song a go. Anyone tried The All Seeing I song I recommended? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Jax Posted May 11, 2002 Share Posted May 11, 2002 Junker, I've already heard most of the songs you've recommended, so I did bother commenting on them. Most of it is good stuff, though. I think this thread is mostly for more underground of up and coming stuff that most of us haven't heard, but maybe I've missed the point. Anyway, while he's hardly up and coming or really underground, I'm gonnna put a word in for Frank Zappa. He's highly underappreciated, and have a great sense of humor and more balls than anyone else in the past 40 years of music history. It's hard to recommend one song, but I like Bobby Brown Goes Down (from which I posted lyrics in the lyrics threar) cause it really inlustrates his kind of sense of humor. I also like Valley Girl, for which I'm going to post the lyrics right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyLeakyBucket Posted May 11, 2002 Share Posted May 11, 2002 As long as IC agrees about this. I started another thread called "Recommended Pirating" below this one which has been frequented by very few posters. That has sorta been mainly for underground stuff, so if you wanted we could retitle both threads to make one more "mainstream" and the other more "underground" see how it goes. What do you reckon?

JunkerSeed Posted May 12, 2002 Share Posted May 12, 2002 Yeah, I've been reading the other thread too, and I've been picking more mainstream stuff on this one because we kind of unofficially designated it so. I like the idea. One thread is for introducing bands, essentially. The other would be for educating people on bands they think they know about, but have only heard a couple of songs from. I say we need more people in this thread though! What? Only 5 or so members of DD listen to music? I'd like to hear form people who's musical tastes I dont know very well.

soldier of fortune Posted May 12, 2002 Share Posted May 12, 2002 Sorry, only really read this thread. IC you want more of the same of Chicane style then you should go for BT - Flaming June, Hybrid - Finished Symphony, The Thrillseekers - Synaesthesia, Paul van Dyk - For an Angel. I heard a really good song on Mtv2 yesterday, it was called Tenacious D - Tribute, Downloading Kaza now to see if i can get it. Thats about really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Jax Posted May 12, 2002 Share Posted May 12, 2002 I just started getting in to Queensrÿche. I always knew I would like them if I got into them, but I never got around to it (kinda like Yes, I kow I've liked what I've heard, but you just don't get into them for one reason or another). Well, I got around to it yesterday and, as I suspected, great stuff. Been singing along to 'Revolution Calling' since my secong listen. Just though I'd mention that.

King of Snake Posted May 13, 2002 Share Posted May 13, 2002 Yeah, we'd mentioned Tenacious D on another thread, the 'Shiny Demon ' in the video is Dave Grohl, he drums on it too. "And we played the first thing that came into our heads Just so happened to be The best song in the world, it was the best song in the world yayay!!" :frontman: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Jax Posted May 14, 2002 Share Posted May 14, 2002 If any of you get a chance to see the D live, don't past it up. One of the greatest things I've ever seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King of Snake Posted May 14, 2002 Share Posted May 14, 2002 I'll download a few of the suggestions as soon as I can and be back to comment. I have a few of the songs already but not really listened to them, when I get a bit of time... Moderator Notice: Check out the other mp3 thread, also pinned, for lesser-known bands, either new, local or defunct. This thread is for artists who've had at least some success, you'd probably have heard of 'em but may not have checked 'em out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King of Snake Posted May 14, 2002 Share Posted May 14, 2002 Oh and careful not to bomb the topic ('Lyrics' has got bombed a bit), if too many songs get called out then people'll stop downloading and commenting, it'd just turn into a thread for naming songs you like...

The NZA Posted May 14, 2002 Author Share Posted May 14, 2002 SOF - in the process of downloadin those ones (BT - Flaming June ive heard & loved, great pick), thanks man. Ok, for a little variety... R & B - Craid David, "Rendezvous" Rap - Nas "One Mic" If you like those genres or are open to new things, ya cant go wrong... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted May 14, 2002 Author Share Posted May 14, 2002 IC you want more of the same of Chicane style then you should go for BT - Flaming June, Hybrid - Finished Symphony, The Thrillseekers - Synaesthesia, Paul van Dyk - For an Angel. Holy shit - SOF, next round at Hondo's is on me. Already had BT & Van Dyk, again good picks on both, but damn Thrillseekers - Synesthasia was pretty good, and Hybrid - Finished Symphony just kept gettin better & better, youre my man here for techno. If ya hear any more in the same vein, please be sure to mention em here! Alright then, off the Matrix soundtrack there were many greats, but my fave was prolly Rob D - Clubbed2Death (Kurayamino Mix). I'm a sucker for ambience in the music, a combination of strings & piano in a techno track like that gets me goin. Any others along those lines? Its rare i hear that lately, especially with piano.

JunkerSeed Posted May 14, 2002 Share Posted May 14, 2002 Most of that style of techno hasn't interested me much, I usually go for Chemical brothers/Crystal Method type stuff or trip hop. I'm workin on that Nas song now though. And yeah, i know I reccomended radiohead already, but dammit, I'll do it again. My next reccomendations would be "Talk show host" by radiohead, which has been called one of the best b-sides ever made. It's a complete departure from style, it's a trip-hop song (I keep mentioning it, might as well describe it, trip-hop is typically weird ambient electronic stuff, sometimes with vocals, sometimes not... think Tricky, or Portishead) I'd also reccomend "Pull/Pullk Revolving Doors" from the cd Amnesiac. And if you like that at all "Packt Like Sardines in a Crushd Tin Box" and "I Might Be Wrong." That stuff is even less like radiohead than talk show host. Yeah, yeah, that's a lot of radiohead, but the band completely changed, abandoned guitars almost entirely and dropped rock as a genre... If it weren't for the vocals on two of the three amnesiac tracks I listed, nobody would ever guess that was the same band that did "Creep." DL a couple of these, and you shouldn't be dissapointed, it's certainly something quite different... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soldier of fortune Posted May 14, 2002 Share Posted May 14, 2002 Well other cool stuff. Chemical Brothers - Private Psychadelic Funky Reel Prodigy - Climbatize, Prodigy - Narayan Ft Crispian Mills of Kula Shaker PPK - Resurrection Delerium - Silence (DJ Tiesto Mix) U2 - Beautiful Day (Oakenfold Mic) Hybrid ft Chrissie Hyde - Kid 2000 Massive Attack - Teardrop Moby - Go, Porcelain, James Bond Theme Yeah i'll take that round IC!!

King of Snake Posted May 15, 2002 Share Posted May 15, 2002 I say 'don't bomb the topic', the board replies with 17 songs in 24 hours! Ah well, what you gonna do? ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyLeakyBucket Posted May 15, 2002 Share Posted May 15, 2002 DL a new song every hour? :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Jax Posted May 15, 2002 Share Posted May 15, 2002 It's been eleven hours since the last reply. I think it's safe... I heard Tricky mentioned. Don't know of his regular stuff, but I do know of his collaboration with Ed Kowalski (or however it's spelled) on "Evolution Revolution Love". For those who don't know, Ed is the lead singer for one of the greatest bands of the 90's, Live. I saw Live in concert (noticed how I avioded saying I saw Live live) last year and at the end of their set, they brought out to sing Tricky's song featuring Ed (Evolution Revolution Love), and Live's song featuring Tricky (Simple Creed). If you like Tricky but haven't heard of either of these songs, check em out. Side note: If there's ever a band named "In Concert" and they tour with Live, I'm going to be pissed and at the same time highly amused.

soldier of fortune Posted May 17, 2002 Share Posted May 17, 2002 Hey Jack, you Tenacious D's song Tribute, you know anywhere that i can DL the Video version (The Electric Version) cos all i can find is the acoustic one, which is bitchin, but just not as good as the Video version. And i know this was mentioned before, but i didn't see it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King of Snake Posted May 19, 2002 Share Posted May 19, 2002 China Drum's version of 'Wuthering Heights' (yeah I know it was on the first page, I'm trying to catch up a bit) isn't bad, good riffs...what I wanna know is did you try downloading Kate Bush - 'Sat In Your Lap' yet, honestly, no joke, it's a mad song! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyLeakyBucket Posted May 19, 2002 Share Posted May 19, 2002 You expect me to DL Kate Bush. You realise I'll probably be put on some kind of black-list for that? I'll never DL again. *sigh* Okay, I'll get onto it tomorrow mrning, when my bandwidth again transforms into miracle speeds... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Jax Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 If by 'Electric Version' you mean the studio version and teh video that isn't just concert footage, you can either try downloading it from a P2P program or stream it from tenaciousd.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soldier of fortune Posted May 26, 2002 Share Posted May 26, 2002 Yeah i mean the one with no concert footage, just the "Shiny demon" and the Cheap ass recording studio in the super market!! I'll try that but i don't have broadband so i won't be streaming nuthin! :dissappointed: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Jax Posted May 26, 2002 Share Posted May 26, 2002 SOF, look on a p2p program. The video is about 5 minutes long, so if your program returns video lengths in its searchs that would probably help you out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted May 26, 2002 Author Share Posted May 26, 2002 For Chiefy - you heard this one yet? "Rayvon - My bad" ? The best rap/r&b song for trashin your ex since "Eric Benet - When you think of me", funny shit. Right now, listenin to "Delerium - Silence (Airscape Remix)", Sarah Mclaughlan vocals on a techno track, kinda interestin but short. Still sad "Dirty Vegas - Days go by" is now associated with a @#$%in mitsubishi commercial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JunkerSeed Posted May 26, 2002 Share Posted May 26, 2002 Don't know if anyone here listens to the deftones much, but since this thread is still here, I'll reccomend "Passenger", by the deftones, featuring Maynard from tool. Damned fine song, always pops in my head when i'm in someone's car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
